The Zoroastrian Trust Funds Of Europe (Incorporated)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31st March 2023

Structure, governance and management

The Company is limited by guarantee and was incorporated in 1978. It is registered as a Charity with the Charity Commission. Its operations are governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Charity was set up to advance the Zoroastrian religious faith, provide and maintain a burial ground and to relieve poverty among Zoroastrians, as detailed in the Charity's constitution. In so doing the Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5)g of the 2011 Charities Act to have regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of public benefit.

Appointment of Directors and Trustees

Management Committee Members are elected annually at the AGM by the Members of the Association, when one third of the Committee retire by rotation. Trustees are also elected directly by association members but serve for a period of seven years. Although the constitutional documents of the association draw a distinction between Trustees and management Committee members, under Companies Act and for Charity Commission purposes both these above categories are treated as Directors and Trustees.

The President is elected directly by members present at an AGM from amongst the newly constituted Management Committee at its first meeting after an AGM.

Organisation and Management

The Charity relies largely on the unpaid and voluntary services of its Trustees Management Committee and a large number of volunteers. The Charity is run by the Trustees and Management Committee, who meet on a monthly basis and also communicate frequently by email and on conference calls. The President, together with each portfolio holding member of the Management Committee is responsible for the day to day running of the Charity. Specific sub-committees such as the Finance Sub-committee and the House Committee are charged with specific responsibilities. The Trustees provide periodic guidance and review the affairs of the Charity at meetings with the portfolio holders and at specific meetings of the Trustees.

Induction of Management Committee Members and Trustees

Newly elected Members and Trustees are required to familiarise themselves with relevant publications of the Charity Commission and Companies House on their duties and responsibilities. A programme of mentoring newly elected Members by their more experienced colleagues is also in place.

Related Parties

The Charity has no subsidiaries or related parties.

Risk Management

The Management Committee and the Trustees undertake a review of the Charity's financial assets, available reserves and potential liabilities as a measure of prudent risk management at least once each year. From time to time other strategic and operational risks faced by the Charity in relation to its property and its activities are also reviewed. Appropriate measures including the use of insurance are taken to mitigate partially or eliminate completely their potential impact.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31st March 2023

Objectives and activities

The Charity seeks to provide services of a religious, social and cultural nature to Members of the Zoroastrian Faith, one of mankind's oldest religions, now recognised as one of the nine major religions practised in the UK and Europe. The Charity maintains the only Zoroastrian Place of Worship in Europe at the Zoroastrian Centre in Harrow as well as the first Zoroastrian Burial Ground in Europe at Brookwood in Surrey. The celebration of Zoroastrian festivals and the conduct of prayers, rituals and religious worship are a cornerstone of its activities. The Charity actively participates in worldwide Zoroastrian community affairs particularly in relation to education, welfare, and social uplift. The Charity also participates actively in UK and European Inter-faith organisations.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

The Association is grateful to its in-house investment sub-committee which handles the management of the investments. The sub-committee reports to the Finance committee and periodically also reports to the Trustees and the Management Committee.

Financial review

The Income of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2023 was £925,535 (2022: £474,278), whereas the costs of Charitable Activities were £600,309 (2022: £320,084) and Governance Costs were £67,889 (2022: £66,017).

The realised gain on investments was £Nil (2022: £21,334) whereas the unrealised loss amounted to £190,902 (gain 2022: £276,974). The net movement in funds for the year was a surplus sum of £66,435 (2022: £386,485).

The Charity benefited from its prudent investment policy. The portfolio is constantly reviewed by the investment sub-committee and also by the Trustees and the full managing committee. The policy of investing in blue chip dividend paying companies as well as reputable dividend paying investment trusts and funds helped in providing a steady income stream for the charity.

During the year the overall net assets of the charity increased from £7,795,465 to £7,861,901.

The income of the charity is primarily derived from voluntary donations made by members of the community, subscriptions, major donations from munificent patrons and other benefactors, bequests as well as investment income and gains. The substantial reserves prudently held by the charity have stood it in good stead during these uncertain economic times.

The results of the year are set out in detail on pages 13 - 34

Financial review (continued)

Investment Powers and Policy

All investments held by the Charity have been acquired in accordance with the powers invested in the Trustees and Management Committee by the Articles of Association

The investment policy of the Charity aims at balancing the need for growth and income while preserving capital. The Trustees and Management Committee remain responsible for determining the investment policy and its implementation, but the task of maintaining the portfolio has been delegated to a sub-committee and independent brokers Charles Stanley, acting in consultation with the Trustees.

The investment policy is based on the following criteria:

A reasonable spread of investments across mainly UK market sectors including a significant proportion in higher income yielding stocks, UK government securities and treasury deposits.

Exercising prudence in balancing security of capital with the need to generate income, complying with charity legislation and the Charity's constitution.

Reserves Policy

Upon the sale of the freehold property at 88 Compayne Gardens in 2005, sixty-five (65) percent of the surplus was transferred to the Unrestricted Designated Funds in order to ensure that income and gains from these investments will balance or exceed the running and maintenance expenditure of the association. This would ensure that the charity would have sufficient income to maintain its current level of activities for the foreseeable future. For the purpose of the running costs and maintenance of the Zoroastrian Centre, a reserve is funded by the investment portfolio.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Zoroastrian Trust Funds Of Europe (Incorporated)

Year ended 31st March 2023

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Zoroastrian Trust Funds of Europe (Incorporated) (the 'charity') for the year ended 31st March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Zoroastrian Trust Funds Of Europe (Incorporated) (continued)

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Zoroastrian Trust Funds Of Europe (Incorporated) (continued)

Year ended 31st March 2023

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31st March 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Zoroastrian Centre, 440 Alexandra Avenue, Harrow, Middlesex, HA2 9TL, United Kingdom.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The charity consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity is the performance of investment markets (see the investment policy performance and risk management sections of the trustees annual report for more information).

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In producing these accounts the trustees have considered accounting policies and relevant estimates. In the trustees opinion and to the best of their knowledge significant accounting entries are based upon facts. However, these accounts do include estimates in relation to useful life of assets and immaterial accruals.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment as set out in the notes to the accounts

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

The charity has no set policy on transfer between funds, with individual transfers arising as a consequence of specific funding requirements.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31st March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses or at a revalued amount.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 15% reducing balance

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals during the year. The charity generally does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments. Investments are made in equities, funds and money market deposits.

The main forms of financial risks faced by the charity are that of a lack of support from the community, volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or subsectors.

Investment income and bank interest

Investment income and bank interest are apportioned to the credit of the unutilised restricted funds, general and designated unrestricted funds based on the value of the relevant funds at the beginning of the year. Investment income and bank interest have not been allocated to those funds which were set aside for the acquisition and refurbishment of properties.

Realised gains or losses on sale of investments

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. The gains or losses on the sale of the investments are apportioned to the credit or debit of the unutilised restricted funds and the general and designated unrestricted funds based on the value of the relevant funds at the beginning of the year. The gains and losses on the sale of investments have not been allocated to those funds which have been utilised for acquisition and refurbishment of properties.

Unrealised gains or losses on investments

Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Unrealised gains or losses arising on the valuation of investments are apportioned to the credit or debit of the unutilised restricted funds and the general and designated unrestricted funds based on the value of the relevant funds at the beginning of the year. Unrealised gains or losses arising on the valuation of investments have not been allocated to those funds which have been utilised for acquisition and refurbishment of properties. Unrealised gains arising on the revaluation of the freehold property acquired from restricted funds are apportioned to the credit of the restricted fund.

Life subscriptions

Life subscriptions received during the year are taken into the income and expenditure account.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable vat is charged against the expenditure heading for which it is incurred.

Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a contribution 'money purchase' scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 13. The costs of defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and charged to the unrestricted funds of the charity. The money purchase plan invests the contributions made by the employee and employer in an investment fund to build up over the term of the plan. The pension fund is then converted into a pension upon the employee's normal retirement age which is defined as when they are eligible for a state pension. The charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions.
